Holyfield was never weak in there despite being much lighter than his opponents for most of his bouts. Remember him picking the much larger Lewis...
It wasn't the size of Holyfield that helped him beat Tyson it was sharp counter punching. Holyfield of 91 was much faster than the 96 version.
You don't just walk over to someone and stand their for seconds doing nothing if you intend to punch someone.
That may be true but Holyfield knew what he was doing in there regarding Tyson, I feel he always had his number.
Holyfield did not fight Tyson so obviously he used a different gameplan. Holyfield proved in reality he had the perfect gameplan for Tyson.
I don't think he had a good chin tbh and yes his cross arm defense was not good for defending uppercut.
Ali had a great right hand and left hook come uppercut whilst moving backwards.
The opinion of pond life is not needed.....
The man could bang no doubt about that and was rarely in a stinker. A better inside fighter than Tyson, if he had a better chin he could have been...
Yep, Cooper proved that night he was a bigger H2H threat for Holyfield than Tyson was.
Great little video here, Gary Mason picked Tyson to walk through Holyfield like he did Spinks. Pinklon Thomas was a big fan of Holyfield back then...
When you think about it none are really great wins are they in an ATG sense.
Well Kovelev dropped Ward so that confirms the SOB has pure glass packed in that chin of is.
Does anyone believe that PED's help lengthen your career? It's pretty clear Pacquiao and Mayweather have benefited from then.
When was the last time Fury dropped anyone, I find his story very hard to believe.
